So, you can actually take your trailer to most any service station and get your basic state inspection done, but it's like a 5 minute ho-hum process, you pay your 10 or 15 bucks, and then they send you on your way. The thing I like about Trailer Care (and Taylor Boyz, too, I would suspect) is they they offer a more thorough and specialized safety inspection (for extra cost, should be noted) and really more thoroughly go over and under the trailer. So since they are going to pull up the floor mats to inspect the floor, for that I'd say take out the shavings temporarily.
